2 Chronicles 21:19Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012About two years later, Jehoram died in terrible pain. No bonfire was built to honour him, even though the people had done this for his ancestors. See the chapter |
Joash was severely wounded during the battle, and as soon as the Syrians left Judah, two of his officials, Zabad and Jehozabad, decided to avenge the death of Zechariah. They plotted and killed Joash while he was in bed, recovering from his wounds. Joash was buried in Jerusalem, but not in the royal tombs.
